The Omphoy Ocean Resort, a beachfront boutique hotel on Palm Beach, is reportedly the first new hotel development on the island in nearly two decades. Slated to open in June, the hotel, owned by interior designer Leslie Schelsinger, is inspired in water and modern Asian influences.

The resort is offering introductory rates of $149 per night for Florida residents. The hotel, which also will have a spa, is at 2842 South Ocean Boulevard. Visit www.omphoy.com
